Exposure to the true cutting edge of technology.
HTECH is Harvard's first undergraduate-led technology conference, convening founders, researchers, and investors across artificial intelligence, research, healthtech, and entrepreneurship — built by undergraduates, primarily for undergraduates.
Undergraduate-led exposure to the technological cutting edge.
HTECH sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, scientific research, and commercial innovation — spanning the technologies reshaping how we live, work, and learn.
A recurring annual event designed for accessibility: built by undergraduates, primarily for undergraduates, with high school students and graduate peers welcomed alongside faculty and industry. The goal is simple — give students a front-row seat to the frontier and a direct line to the people building it.
Afternoon program.

Wearables & Biofeedback
Operators and researchers at the frontier of biofeedback, neural interfaces, and consumer hardware.
AI in Healthtech & Beyond
Applied AI across — and well beyond — healthtech: foundation models, agents, and the economic frontier, in partnership with HDSI.
Entrepreneurship
Serial founders across deep tech, biotech, and software — trajectories reachable to students starting today.
Research & Academia
Cutting-edge research bridging the lab-to-market gap, from genetics to computational science.
Six companies. One high-value room.
A curated showcase for ambitious technology companies at any stage. Each founder gets five focused minutes in front of investors, operators, faculty, and potential future team members, followed immediately by a reception built for the conversations that matter.
We welcome exceptional founders from first build through advanced venture-backed growth. This is a showcase, not a pitch competition.
